ILLINOIS ORDERS OF PROTECTION ATTORNEYS IN DUPAGE, COOK, WILL, KANE, AND KENDALL COUNTIES

In Illinois, anytime there is domestic violence or the threat of physical force used against a family member, a former spouse, or current girlfriend or boyfriend, an order of protection may be necessary to help prevent abuse. According to the Illinois Domestic Violence Act, a petition for an order of protection must be filed in civil court by the victim of the abuser, or on behalf of the person who is unable to file for an order of protection, due to age or some type of disability.

If you are going through a divorce and feel as though you are in physical danger of abuse, an order of protection can be filed in conjunction with another civil order, such as the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Regardless, domestic violence is a criminal offense, and at The Law Offices of Umberto S. Davi, PC, we help our clients obtain the legal protection they need.

When one’s safety is in danger, the Court may prohibit a family or household member from engaging in certain types of behavior in order to prevent the abuser from engaging in any further physical abuse, threats, or intimidation, Illinois Court’s have the discretion to bar an abuser from entering a residence, making contact with the victim, and/or using drugs or alcohol. Further, the Court can require the abuser to attend counseling, turn over weapons, and/or turn over property.
